Skoda - VW/Audi group - I.5 tsi engine - think carefully! - Dog
I've always sworn that I'd never go down the CVT route, having tuned and driven many a daft Daf back in the day, but this 'ere Lineartronic fitted to the latest Subarus works just like a slushbox really.
It holds on hills (handy in Cornwall) and creeps plus, mated to a 2ltr boxer it's quite quick orf the mark too.
